Question
"
A typical neuron needs ~100 nearly simultaneous inputs to trigger an action potential. It connects to about 10,000 other neurons. Why might this situation lead to epilepsy? How does brain circuity avoid it?
Hint: Let x% of neurons be active, in a network with y% probability that any given neuron connects to any other given neuron.
Answer: By trying to actually answer this question. By settling for a qualitative (gyan) solution.
